I am having so many problems with compatibilty with my AEBS....

Ok here's my setup - i've got cable modem running straight into my brand spanky new AEBS. I have a USB printer running into the back of this. I have a MacBookPro 2.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo. I connect to the internet using this with Wireless. I have set up the BS with 802.11n (b/g compatible), automatic channel, and WEP (Transitional S N). I have set up my Mac with Manual IP so that I can port map and open up a Torrent client and a KDX Server on my Laptop which works perfectly so no problems there.
I have the following problems with my other kit that needs to connect to the Internet:
A) My wife has a little PC Laptop that runs XP Pro and she needs Internet access. I've set it up to see the Extreme, using a Manual IP and WEP Password - which turns into TKIS or something - I don't really understand PC's. I have also taken the firewall off, and the PC is connected to the Access Point, and all seems well but the PC just will not see the internet. Everything SEEMS to be working up to the point of needing the internet. The PC used to work on my old NetGear router that I had before I 'upgraded' my router to AEBS. Very strange and utterly frustrating.
B) I have a GamePoint wireless acces point downstairs that picks up the wireless network and feeds it to the XBOX 360 through Ethernet. This used to work a treat using my netgear router. The problem I have now is that when i enter a WEP password on the BS, it asks for 13 characters, and the WEP password box on the browser interface is split into 5 boxes that allow 2 digits each. It does not support WPA security so - ***? How can I run this system with WEP?
C) I have a similar problem with my Wii in that it only accepts 10 digits for WEP.
I am very frustrated - this Apple Base Station only seems to want to work with other Apple gear.
Can anyone help me with any or all of these frustrating problems?
Thanks in Advance - Darren

Ok PC sorted.
A reservation says - I want this PC to be always given this IP address.
To reserve an IP from the DHCP panel.
(in your list of images)
Enter the Mac number of the PC - alongside the IP number you want to give it.
The Mac number is also called the Hardware Address. Network Utility will give you the number. Be careful, you need the Hardware Address of the Wireless connction - not the Ethernet connection which will appear first.
(Select en0 en1 etc. )
OK - I have a solution for your games too. But you are not going to like it.
Your gaming devices only support old-fashioned 40-bit WEP. Which is easy to crack.
Your AEBSn supports that too - but it is incompatible with 802.11n.
This is what you can do (if you want)
Click the Airport Icon (in Airport Utility) and go the Wireless tab.
You'll see a pulldown marked Radio Mode. If you click it you see 4 options.
But if you OPTION click. You see 8 options. Select 802.11b/g compatible.
Now if you click the Wireless Security pulldown - you'll get the option of 40-bit WEP.
This will give you a Hex String which will fit into your gaming devices.
But of course, you have sacrificed 802.11n to get it.
Another option is to dig out an old 802.11g wireless box and make a dual-band network.
I think we are done!!!

  • Many problems and questions with CC and PS CC 2014. HELP!!!

    I'm having way too many problems with this whole Creative Cloud system, and PS CC 2014 in particular.
    The courtesy of a response from a qualified Adobe staff member would be greatly appreciated by this long-time loyal patron of Adobe products.
    1. When and why was my membership downgraded from Single App to Photographer?
         I signed up to Single App CC almost a year ago, and am able to access Typekit, 20GB of cloud storage and all the other features of Individual App membership, but not Market Assets. When I attempt to download any CC Market Assets I get a message stating "Market Assets are a premium feature" and "is only available to paid Creative Cloud members".
          I must still be subscribed to Single App because the subscription payment receipt I received a few weeks ago states: "We received payment for your Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop (one-year) subscription, and your membership will renew on 30-July-2014 (PT)".
         The CC website states that Market Assets are not included in the Individual "Photography" subscription level (which seems to be a relatively new category), but I am clearly paying for Single App membership as indicated on my receipt. However, when I check my account, I'm listed as a Photographer subscriber.
         What gives?
    2. Lightroom 5 is no longer listed as "Installed" in CC Apps window.
         I installed Lightroom 5 at Adobe's invitation last fall. Every time there is a CC update, the CC App widow shows that Lightroom 5 is not installed. So, I reinstall it, and the App list behaves properly until the next "update", which de-installs the app again.
         How do I keep Lightroom 5 installed?
    3. My Extensions are not accessible in PS CC 2014
         I migrated my presets from PS CC to PS CC 2014, but the Extensions are still greyed out (Windows>Extensions). I updated Extension Manager and synced the desktop CC app, which downloaded some plug-ins to CC 2014, but not the Adobe Watermark extension (v2.2.3). Also, because Window>Extension is greyed out, I can't access AdobeExchange via CC 2014 to download any possible updates.
         Why can't I access my extensions in PS CC 2004?
    4. CC Files wont stop syncing
         I thought I'd try uploading something to Creative Cloud to see what this storage feature could offer me. CC has been attempting to sync my files for aver a day now, chewing up bandwidth and seriously slowing down my internet connection to other content-dense sites. How do I stop the syncing process? I can pause it, but not stop it. I only have one file (a jpg image) in my Creative Cloud Files, which has a green check mark, so I don't understand what is being synced and why. I toogle syncing off and on again, but all I get is the spinning wheel. I've now turned off syncing, so this feature is now of no use to me.
         What am I doing wrong?
    5. How do I make the previous version of PS CC the default PS app in Mac OS 10.8.5
         How do I deactivate PS CC 2014 as the default PS app?
         My workflow regularly includes the Oil Paint filter and Adobe Watermark extension to produce the images I am currently marketing. Therefore, I prefer to use PS CC v14.2.1, and not PS CC 2004, as my default PS app. Mac OS10.8.5 want to open all my RAW and PSD files in PS CC 2014. I change the "Open With" preference in the "Get Info" window to PS CC 14.2.1, but it immediately reverts to PS CC 2014.
    I have several other issues with the latest CC platform, but lets see if I can get these ones solved before moving forward.
    This whole Creative Cloud process is becoming very frustrating and overly time consuming, and seems to be much more complex than most users need or want (based on the comments and problems I read in this forum).  I like the ongoing bug-fixes and camera/lens support updates, but the whole multi-app, internet-dependent format has gotten out of control, producing more problems than solutions, at least for me. This 2014 update makes it impossible to follow the workflow I've developed over the past several years. PixelBender is complex and non-intuitive, and does not effectively replace the Oil Paint filter. My extensions don't work. And now, the CC app won't let me access all the features I think I'm paying for. It seem to me these recent "upgrades" are half-baked. I've now spent countless hours trying to fix the problems imposed by CC 2014.
    These "Community Discussions" sometimes take days to produce any sort of assistance, helpful or otherwise, and Adobe does not have the decency to offer direct access to customer service personnel to solve these problems.

    I too, have many of the same problems: constantly reminded to "Install" the apps I have already done so (and paid for); Market Assets asks for me to become a paid member (I am); Adobe Bridge is missing from the apps page. I have reinstalled CC several times. Frustrating is the kindest word I can say--I seem to spend more time reading the "help" and discussion boards rather than working on photos. Dear Adobe, wake up and give us some solutions here! I too, have been using Adobe PS for years and UGH! CC is a mess and truly a bad experience for me! I apologize to the user above (RGMeyer) I could not be helpful, rather I am only adding fuel to your frustration.

  • Why are you all having so many problems????????

    I am an Apple Powerbook, iBook, iMac and 3rd Gen iPod user. All these products have performed exceptionally well. In terms of OS both OS9 and OSx have been excellent. I started from “0” knowledge and soon found that the Apple designers had already worked out the problems that I would have had before I even new I had any. In other words, provided I used common sense and patience I found that I could work through the harder to understand areas with positive results. What great products.
    In terms of hardware I have had all the usual problems (mother boards, hard drive, track pad and super drive failure) all of which, as I understand come down to the component manufactures and not Apple.
    As I understand the first iPod products were designed to play MP3 music and by the 3rd Gen these products had been refined in a manner that made them a world leader. Then came the 4th Gen iPod, again an even better MP3 player with the bonus of Photo ability or is it. On reading “Apple Discussions iPod with colour display” there appears to be no end to the problems that people are experiencing with reference to the Photo ability, it goes on and on!.
    I am therefore interested to know if the 2nd Gen of the Photo ability has been refined to that of the now MP3 ability and ease of use within the new 5th Gen iPod Video as very little has been mentioned within the “Apple Discussions iPod with video”. If it has then 2/3rds of the product is worth having “MP3 / Photo ability with a “?” over video ability that can only improve with time. However if the Photo ability still has the problems as mentioned in “Apple Discussions iPod with colour display” then something is wrong; 1/3rd of the product is worth having “MP3” and 2/3rd not with a “?” now over Photo ability and a “?” over Video ability.
    If this is so, then am I right in saying that as consumers we are rushing into Video ability on a false foundation as Apple are turning these iPod products out with added features that are no longer working in a user friendly manner or are we consumers all a bit thick?.
    I am not afraid of hearing the truth!.

    I have a color iPod 4th gen, and I'm also interested in knowing what the big deal is! My 4G works perfectly, except when I occasionally overload the HD with commands. The only trouble I had was upgrading to iTunes 5 on my XP SP1, which destroyed its iPod software for good. But that's normal, because SP1 is too old for the iPod.
    Any big problems with the 5G, spill 'em, I can't wait to hear the truth.

  • I am having so many problems with my ipads and my computers since I upgraded to Yosemite on my desktop!  I have never been so frustrated with Apple.  My apple at work also has a virus problem and my other MAC keeps rebooting!!  My MAC at home burned

    Problems with Yosemite: virus (malware), rebooting, burned hard drive, ipads keep losing wifi.

    You're going to have to be more specific about the symptoms you're seeing. At the moment, I really have almost no idea at all what's going on. Also, be aware that upgrading your Mac to Yosemite has no effect whatsoever on your iPads.
    If you're having a lot of ad problems or redirects in the web browsers on all these devices, you probably have some kind of network compromise, such as hacked network hardware:

  • TS4009 I need to get a message to Apple, iCloud...having so many problem with it.  I just went in and deleted all of my iCloud emails, that just stay stuck there.  What has happened now is that it was synced with Yahoo.  I've lost all my yahoo mess. HELP!

    I am so sorry that I ever signed up for iCloud. The only thing that ever worked is that I had two messages drop into iCloud when there was an open wifi connection.  It is synced with Yahoo.  It was taking up so much space as I had a lot of attachments, nothing sent, they just sat there, I had to cut and paste them into my Yahoo! account and send them. 
    Last nigth were were looking at the reason that my brand new Mac Air had ZERO memory. It was the iCloud messages that were stuck.  I then went in and deleted everything.  I have tried to turn iCloud off via a pull down menu.  Did not work.  I have now lost all of my sent and received messages in my Yahoo Account. My inbox is completely empty.  I believe I still have sent messages though.  These were messages that I had cut and pasted into Yahoo! to get them sent.  Now my Yahoo! is wiped out.
    I am a writer.  I need those messages recovered.  I am an end user.  I need instructions in English on how to recover this.  If there is anyone that can help me, I am desparate.  I imagine Apple could retrieve them for me though there is no where to contact them.
    I thought it was cool until, such time as I LOST EVERYTHING.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • It's really disturbing to see so many people having the same problem I am with the HTC Rhyme!

    I've had my phone for a little less than a month, and it just stopped working. Never dropped, never wet, fully charged, but NOTHING!!! ANY assistance would be appreciated.

    Apple does not hear you here. You will want to go to Apple.com/feedback to get your voice heard.
    If the iPhone 4 is under warranty they would replace it for free, so I am assuming it is not under warranty. An out of warranty repair would cost you $149, so if you are quoted another price it could mean that the device beyond replacing.
    You should call back in to Apple to explore other replacement options

  • I'm having too many problems with Firefox 4, where do I find download for the previous verison 3.6.10?

    No script disappears, there is no refresh button on the browser. I want to go back to the previous version. No more "betas" for me, from now on I'll wait and let someone else work out the bugs for you.
    Get me back to the last version of 3.

  • IT Seems like we are all having so many problems but looking thru all the p

    all the posts in everyone one fines garageband so easy
    me too!
    now if apple made both programs why so many issues in
    logic the program we all shelled out at least 2 bills for,
    I know one (logic) is more pro, but does that mean it has to be
    so hard to use?
    The idea was to spend for time on creating music no?
    just a thought

    The only way is to make a level advance (i.e. to STUDY...).
    GB is made to be used without any knowledge but when you begin to climb higher you need some knowledge.
    It's the same with any other software from text to viedo and photo editors, design, illustration etc.
    You can buy Illustrator but if you don't know how to design and which are the features that permits to you to make a pro work that's remain just a game.
    And about music, if you want to play a guitar you have to know how to play, how to change the strings, how to obtain bendings, tapping, fingerpicking etc.
    So my advice is: *don't give up, you'll see (or better hear) the results*.
    cheers

  • HT204655 Having so many problems sharing photos on Facebook

    Using iPhoto with Facebook was a great way to share photos with my friends. The new Photos app with Yosemite is not so great. After figuring out that the Facebook upload limit was 50 photos (is there any way to have the number of photos selected to be displayed somewhere on the screen so that I wouldn't have to guess?), I learned that:
    1. I couldn't create a new Facebook album in Photos. Instead I had to upload to the Timeline, and then change the album name from "OS X Albums." Not critical, but it would be easier for me if I new which albums on Facebook I was publishing to.
    2. The photos on Facebook were uploaded out of order, necessitating some rearranging the photos after the upload. Would there be any way to upload them to Facebook in the order I intended? With 50 or more photos it would be a lot of work to get them in the right order. Having them uploaded in the correct order will save me a lot of time.
    3. I also added descriptions to most of the photos. In iPhoto the descriptions would also be uploaded to Facebook as captions for each photo. The new Photos app didn't include the descriptions with the photos during the upload. I prefer to have this feature so that I can add the commentary before publishing them on Facebook.   Would that still be possible? I would like it so that I wouldn't have to type up the captions twice.

  • Is it just me or is iTunes having too many problems?

    I am getting more and more problems with iTunes lately.
    To sum it up:
    - 50 errors when downloading videos
    - 8008 errors when downloading videos
    - video downloads without errors, but starting from scratch a few times before finally finishing the whole download
    - 1403 error when downloading the iOS upgrade
    What is happening here? When I email Apple I get the standard checkbox reply, but I already tried everything they suggest: a new user account, removing temp downloads, disabling the firewall, verifying/repairing permissions; you name it. I am not using web accelerators, don't have anti-virus stuff installed. I am actually out of clues, except that it all is related to iTunes and that it is really starting to annoy me.
    Anyone else noticing these download hiccups lately?
    Cheers,
    Marinka

    It started with the – 50 errors with me (multiple iTunes stores, different AppleIDs, different user accounts) and then after a while there's the –8008 error, so I deleted all the temp downloads and started over, but the same thing happened. The only way I could download was to stop the download manually after 25MB or so and then resume. That takes a long time with season passes I tell ya!
    And now this evening I had to update 4 iPads 2 to iOS 5.0.1 (from 4.3.3) for work and it gave me the 1403 error. I actually read quite a few posts with the same error here. I'll try on a different Mac tomorrow, but even if that works that is clearly not a solution.
    I've been working with Macs for over 20 years now and I think this is actually the first time that something this annoying is happening. So well done Apple for the last 20 years, but now please solve this!

  • Having the same problems as others with V31.0, Have tried most suggestions with same results: No change. When is Mozilla going to correct this problem?

    Starts with blank tab page.
    Clicking on homepage icon brings up default homepage.
    At start up there is blank bookmarks toolbar. Bookmarks toolbar is checked. Un-checking same & re--checking brings up correct toolbar.
    Cannot go to a link from email if FF has not started. Blank tab page comes up.
    FF starts on it's own.

    Is your Windows 8.1 a home version, Pro version, or Enterprise version? I think the problem might be occurring with all 3, actually.
    Based on the "new profile test" it appears to be caused by a setting or other profile-specific data/file/add-on, but I don't think we have tracked down which one it is.
    I'm not sure about that last point: "FF starts on its own." What does that mean? Often this can indicate malware on your system that is sending a URL to your default browser, either based on a system event or on a timer.
    Do you want to try the new profile test? Since it takes quite a bit of work to move your data and add-ons to the new profile, you might decide it isn't worth pursuing, but here's how you would get started if you want to try it.
    To test how Firefox runs "uncustomized" on your system, could you do a two-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > Run (home screen with the small icons, or Window key+R):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like Aug19, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    If you set your preferred home page, exit Firefox and start up again, are all of those problems with your regular profile solved?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.
    If you want to move data to your new profile, this article is a good place to start: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

  • SO many problems after complications with OSX Mavericks

    A couple of months ago I decided to download OS X Mavericks on my Macbook Pro and somehow it went wrong. After the download, it would restart every time I logged onto my user! Thanks to some awesome people on here, I fixed that problem   Except for the fact that I lost everything on my laptop… After all of that things have went wrong with my laptop. My CD Rom is not working! It will keep the CD for about 30 seconds, then spit it out without even reading it! Also, Garage Band (I think that is what it is called…) and iMovie just disappeared from my applications! Anyone know how to fix these problems?! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Take it in for service. In the US or Canada: make a Genius Appointment.
    Applications do not "just disappear." You may move them accidentally (search using Spotlight.) If you actually did delete them then you can re-download them using the App Store.

  • Too many problems to list with my blog.

    UPDATE*******************************
    i tried publishing again thru the drop down and it seems to have helped the problems temporarily. Will i always have to publish from teh drop down? also,
    Any help or advice or direction would be very helpful, thank you.
    do i have to switch everything to .me or can i stay with .mac?
    Message was edited by: merigayle

    wydor-- i just posted an update. i guess trying to publish again thru the dropdown JUST fixed it. Before i had errors loading the page, only about 10% of the home page would load up and an error came up and then no comments and when i tried to log into comments either the page was gone or i got an error.
    i hope this fixed the problem. OF COURSE as soon as i post, finally, after a couple of days of trying to figure it out, i fixed it, irony, huh?

  • I'm having so many problems!

    I need help! Everytime I connect, I get an itunes window saying I already have CD burner software installed, please reinstall itunes. I can bypass that, and get into itunes, but then after it updates it won't disconnect, saying that files are in use by another application. And then everything freezes, leaving me with an ipod that still says do not disconnect. I've updated everything, ipod updater as well as the newest itunes. I have taken everything off my PC and reinstalled everything countless times. I continue to have this problem. Oh and sometimes I get a popup saying there's a corrupted file in itunes Please help me!
