Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Pull the Express from power
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it an additonal 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Apple's instructions to do what you want are here:
It will often help to temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Express for the setup. Once the Express is configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location.

Although an AirPort Extreme is shown as the extending device in the example, the setup for an AirPort Express is exactly the same

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.
OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -

I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
Cheers!Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?
If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker. -
I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good. Has something changed? Thanks!
If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader. -

Install Software Does Not See the Router
Trying to install a WRT54GX4 using a DSL modem with Windows XP.
Every time that I get to the point (both the CD and the "Easy Install download) where the software is supposed to find the router I get a message that says that the wireless broadband router is not in the network. The power on, Internet, WLAN, and Ethernet lights are all on on the router.
I am an experienced computer user and have used Linksys wireless products before and have done everything that I know how to do other than manually install the puppy. Everything has been connected properly and in the correct sequence.
Thank you,
AgI am having the same problem. I tried the setup using instructions from the CD included with the router, from a version of the setup downloaded from the LinkSys site, and using the interactive utility at the web site. Everything flows smoothly along until it always fails with a message that it does not recognize that there is a wireless router connected. I tried the online chat help from LinkSys but this was challenging since I only had a single machine and single internet conection and couldn't maintain the connection for the chat session.
I have a Westell DSL modem from BellSouth and they did confirm that my LinkSys wireless router should work OK with my existing DSL service. -
Connected to Airport WiFi Net but Airport Utility does not "see" the AE(n)
Have both the Airport Extreme (g) and (n). Have no problems with the AE(g) which I am using now, but the AE(n) somehow does not appear in the "Airport Utility".
I see the new AE(n) in the Airport Finder selection tool and I connect to the AE(n) network WiFi. The connection is successful and I get all of the vertical black semi-circles showing connection. Then I open Airport Utility and attempt to scan to see the AE(n) and it does not appear.
I've tried to hard reset the AE(n) and configure using Ethernet. The AE(n), appears in Airport Utility when attached by Ethernet. Once configured. I disconnet the Ethernet cable and connect to the new WiFi network but the Amber light flashes, the AE(n) does not connect successfully to the DSL modem and my iMac (Core Duo) Airport Utility program fails to "see" the new base station. I am going nuts. Pls help.
I did read through other problems and the troubleshooting section and did not come accross this same problem.Spent 75 minutes on the phone with Apple support. At the end of the day learned a few things.
1) Hold down control key to get additonal wireless config options including one which allows 802.11b/g only
2) Using "Other" as a network option in the Internet Connect application solves the problem that only "WPA" password is allowed while I have configured my AE to WEP. You need to type in the AE network name but you are allowed to choose the correct password schema
3) Using "Network Utility" and pinging 10.0.1.1 found out that I had 90% packet loss and that my new AE(n) is most likely defective and in need of replacement...
After all that am back to using my AE(g). -

Airport express does not see password protected airport network
When I try and password protect my Airport network, my Airport Express, set to join an existing network to play music on my stereo, can no longer see the network. I have my Airport Express plugged in via ethernet to configure it, and the Admin Utility shows a pop up menu for available networks to join, but this menu only shows my Airport network when password protection for the network is turned off. I never set my network to be hidden, so that's not the problem, and my laptop(s) can always see the Airprort network, regardless of password protection being enabled or not.
Supposedly you can select a password protected network for the Express to join and then it will prompt you to enter the password, but if it is not in the list then I can't select it. I can type in the network name, but again, it only joins if I turn off password protection for the network.
Is there a work around for this?
-LewisYour express will need to see the SSID in order to connect. I would suggest that you temporarily turn off the security (WPA2) on your D-Link router, make sure it is broadcasting the SSID, and then see if the express detects it. If the express doesn't see it, make sure some other device can.
You also might try changing the SSID, or turning it off and back on and see if that helps.
Once you can see it in the clear, add the security, and be sure to enter it in exactly, be careful of capitals,etc. -
Added AirPort express to extreme but my iPad does not see the express
I wanted to extend my network due to "dead spots" in the house and patio but no change after adding the AirPort express to my extreme. It set up fine and both with a green light but the bars on the iPad have not changed. It still has a slow connection despite being in the same room as the express. I set it up as a N-device (the express) per the instructions to extend a network. Our home phone is 5.8GHz & should not interfere. Apple Tv & iPhone 4 work but did before. What have I missed??
It sounds like the Express is not "extending" Quick check points:
On the AirPort Extreme
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes
On the AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Extreme network
Make sure there is a check next to "Allow wireless clients"
Security = Same setting as Extreme
Password = Same as Extreme
Update to save any changes
If you have a laptop handy, turn off the wireless on the laptop and temporarily connect it to the ethernet port on the Express with an ethernet cable. Open your browser. If your Express is "extending", you will have internet access. -
I am trying to connect a MacBook Pro to a network using a Linksys PLEBR10 USB ethernet adapter. The MacBook does not recognize the USB device nor the network behind it.
