I bought an airport extreme to increase the coverage in my 2 story home. I get good fast coverage in some spots on both floors, but complete dead zones in other areas. The airport extreme did not help. It is connected by ethernet to my cable modem which has a high speed connection. Is there a configuration I should try to help with these dead zones?
Thank you- CC in Minneapolis

Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on how to best place your base stations for maximum coverage.

When I click on the iPhoto a gray appears along with the perpetual wheel but does not load. Any recommendations?

Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized). I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site, but still no joy. Any suggestions?

I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized). I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site and installed them, but still no joy. Any suggestions?

aspaceman,
Perhaps I owe you an apology. Having re-read that downloading from HP was unsuccessful I feel uncomfortable. Can I suggest you update your 10.6 system (as noted in your profile) to 10.6.8 (if it is not already there) by using the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 combo update plus any software updates that then apply.

Firefox crashes loading youtube videos but only there. it's working on other video pages. i started it in a safed modus but the problem is still there. I reinstalled firefox and the flash pluggin but it didn't help anything. What can I try else?

I'm using firefox 3.6.8.
All my pluggins are up to date
Using a link to a youtube video or on youtube itself the page crashes. I only can hear the sound for some seconds, then that stopps too. I have to close firefox using taskmanager, nothing else is working anymore.

Thanks again for your help.
I did these two updates now (java and plugin) and tried some youtube videos. At the beginning I thoughts that it is working now, because normally firefox crashed already with the first or second video. Now it's working for 5-10 videos and only every 5th-10th video brings firefox to crash.
With the plugin-container process thing I'm not really sure what to do. Do I have to disable the crash protection? (the 4 things that are written for window?) Could you maybe help me with this again?

I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new lion system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw

There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

TS1398 i have an issue with searching for WIFI it can't find a WIFI network on my iPhone 4S i tried to do the following solutions but it didn't help. what should i do????!! (my 3G still works)

Please Help me!!

Can you go to Settings/WiFi, or is the setting greyed out? If it's greyed out see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If you can go to Settings/WiFi do you see any networks? Is the problem with one network or all networks?

My home button is not working today. I tried toggling the caret browsing, but it didn't help.

I updated two add-ons this morning, Forecastfox Weather and I think Fastest Fox, since then, when I click on my home page button next to the browser, it doesn't do anything. It lights up and appears as if I've pressed it, but it won't take me to my home page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How do i back up 2 different devices with the same ID but different content, without losing any content?

I have 2 iPads but just one ID. I use the iPad 2 and my daughter uses the mini. Both have different contents, as her mini contains a lot of videos that she's taken. Niw, I just bought an iPad Air and want to essentially transfer my iPad 2 contents there and also transfer my daughter's mini contents to that iPad 2. If I back up both to the same computer, will I have access to both sets of content and transfer the data to whichever device as I see fit? I just want to make sure so I don't lose any of her content (especially).
Thanks!

Using iTunes on a computer, be sure to set the backup(s) to be stored locally and not the iCloud for efficiency's sake. If all devices belong to the same AppleID, each one will store its backup on a separate file, and if appropriate, you can choose any for a restore as needed. As shown in Diavonex pic, the backups are listed in Preferences / Devices. Hover the cursor over each and a popup will appear detailing which device it belongs to. And you can keep, if needed, more than one backup of a device: control-click on the backup to preserve and choose Archive from the menu (Older backups get overwritten otherwise).

There are several sites which Firefox will not load images. The rest of the site loads correctly, but the images simply do not appear.

(There is no error message, loading message etc, just white space). These images load correctly in Safari . The sites include target.com, gap.com & garnethill.com and are the item photos for specific items listed on the site. I've tried many of the troubleshooting tips. help!

Probably third party images, such as those of the manufacturer

She restarted it or something. I don't know the exact process but she said don't worry the only thing you'll lose is your background. But I took a picture of the screen when it is charging so I have proof

I have a problem when syncing my iphoto library to my iphone 3gs. There apprears to be more than 40 events with the same names but containing only 2-5 pics in my itunes sidebar when in fact I only have around 10 events on iphoto. How do I fix this?

This has never happened before, and I've tried deleting all photos off my phone then syncing them all instead of specific events and nothing. I have around 10 events in my iphoto library but around 3,500 pictures. I have more than enough space on my phone but I only like to sync certain events, so when I go sync them I notice there are over 40 events listed, and all of them have the same name but it seems as though each "event" has like 2 photos.. On my phone all the different events come up as well. This is super annoying, does anyone know how to fix this ?

I have the exact same problem!
I have about 25 albums and a total of 8,100 pictures. When i go to iTunes -> "My iphone" -> Pictures, and then check the box to sync choses events the list of events is messed up. The same events shows up like 3-4 times and the events only have a couple of pictures in them.
Does anyone know what can be causing this? Or what can be done to fix it?

I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?

Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS main
Allow wireless clients (checked)
WDS Remotes: <enter the AppleID for the AXn here>
Click on Update and allow the base station to restart.

I have deleted so many pictures, and I only have about 6 apps but i still don't have storage. Whenever i try to take picture it won't let me because there is no room. I just bought more iCloud storage but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?

iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
Have you tried a reset?
