I bought an Airport Express today. I can't connect to whatsapp or get hotmail emails now. What am I doing wrong?

I live at Uni, and our only access to the internet is through the ethernet ports in our wall. I got sick of not being able to use my laptop away from my desk, and draining my data while in my room. It works fine on my laptop (using it now) and both my iPad and iPhone 5 are connected however only certain apps work (weather, safari, facebook, etc) while retrieving hotmail emails and connecting to Whatsapp aren't possible.
How do I fix this?
On a side note, is it possible to bridge the wifi connection via my laptop to my Xbox 360?

I bought a ringtone from the store but it doesn't appear on the ringtone list? What I'm doing wrong?
how can I set this ringtone as my default Tone?

I tried that already.. the thing is, i press "buy more tones" in the "incoming call tones" panel, and the ringtone i purchased appears as "downloaded", but it only appears on the iphones itunes, not in the tones panels.
I know it's a small thing but y payed for this...

Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

Can,t open word,PDF or excel attachments that get sent to me what am I doing wrong?

Can't open attachments like Word,excel or PDF files I get sent what am I doing wrong?

What have you tried? Ifmyou just tought the attachment, it will open in sort of a quick view mode. For all of the file types you mentioned. If you touch and hold, a small window will open and suggest other apps, if you have any loaded, that will also work with those file types.
So what happens when you tap an attachment?

[SOLVED] Can't get GDM to run - what am I doing wrong?

Alright, I'm running a fresh, up to date install of Arch in a virtual machine, and I'm consistently unable to get GDM to work properly. I pretty much followed the beginners' guide, and tried reinstalling from scratch several times. I've installed gdm, gnome, gnome-extra, dbus, and anything else the wiki recommends, like virtualbox-archlinux-additions. I edited /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
Relevant lines in /etc/inittab:
#Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
Relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
When I start the virtual machine, it displays the CLI login interface along with a bunch of warnings:
Arch Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH (tty1)
vbox login: gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.271335 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011053 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011250 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010699 seconds

gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
After that, I can still log in just fine, though I obviously never get into any desktop environment because of it. I have no idea where to find the X server log. I skimmed through /var/log, but couldn't find any log file with remotely helpful contents besides 'gdm'. The contents of the 'gdm' file:
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days now, but been unable to actually fix it. Anyone feel like pointing out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?

Aaaand figured it out thanks to that one. I skipped starting it manually in this VM; got it to work when started manually on a previous install, and hence assumed it'd be fine.
Turns out, I was doing the installations of the base packages - # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils - wrong somehow. I think I must've missed that step or something; installing xorg-server and xorg-server-utils through Pacman just now solved my problem.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
EDIT: Wonder, you ninja you.

Have tried to purchase an album today but cannot get it to download. what am I doing wrong

Have tried to purchase an Ed Sheeran Cd today and thought My payment had gone through but cannot download the album to my Desktop. What am I doing wrong (in simple terms)

Does it show on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store ? If not then you are sure that the purchase went through, it's not just a temporary store holding charge on your credit card : iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds.
If it does show then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes and see if that downloads it, or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if it shows there for downloading.

Airport express - have signal, can't connect from other computers

i'm not the most computer savvy, so i apologize if i don't know all the terminology. i'll try to explain my problem as best i can...
i have airport express. i'm using it as a base station in my father's office and then attempting to connect wirelessly with my laptop and my brother's laptop. i know the internet itself works because my mother's computer, which connects via ethernet, has internet access. my dad's computer, which is, i guess, the airport administrator station, has internet. his wireless signal is, obviously, fine.
for some reason, though, i cannot connect to the internet on either my laptop or my brother's. both computers have strong wireless signals and SAY they are connected, but when i open safari, i can't connect. i've tried EVERYTHING -- reread the apple support stuff about 100 times. i thought maybe there was a PPPoeP issue, but that doesn't seem to be it... i've done a hard reset of the airport express and that doesn't fix it... i've checked all the network configurations and they seem to be fine... the IP addresses on both laptops begin with "10.0.1."something, which seems to be right... i'm stumped.
my best guess is that there must be settings on my dad's computer that don't recognize the laptops trying to connect.
if anybody has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. if you have any particular places on the apple support page that you think i should look at, just post the link. thanks in advance.
p.s. my dad's computer runs 10.4.5, my brother's laptop same, and my laptop 10.2.6, if that makes any difference.

one more thing... my laptop definitely has the capacity to connect wirelessly, as i use it at work with no problem... it just automatically connects to the strongest signal. basically, everything looks right, it shows a strong signal and says i'm connected to the network, but then i can't get online.

Airport Express...can't connect to internet. Somebody HELP!!!

I have a cable modem hooked up to my Airport Express. My computer reads the signal, but is unable to connect to internet (but will connect with other wireless networks, i.e., my neighbor's!). It keeps telling me to check my network settings. Because I've tried periodically over the last year to make this darn thing work, I'm sure I've just put the wrong info somewhere. Thanks for any and all help.

you need the airport extreme. but keep the airport express it could come in handy if you need to have a print brige or if you are on the road with your laptop.

Just bought my airport express today

now ive been reading the manual and i am worried as i would like to use all the features of the airport but i have certain problems which i dont want to risk. I have a macbook and a dell desktop PC. now the router and printer is connected to the main computer so my macbook just links to this network. does this mean that i have to set up the airport with the main PC or can i do it with my macbook for my itunes or can i use both?
any help will be great!

I suggest that you temporarily connect the AXn directly to one of the available LAN ports on your other router, and then, use the AirPort Utility on either the MacBook or PC to make the configuration changes. (Note: The AirPort Utility will already be on the MacBook; you will need to install it from the CD that came with the AXn on the PC.)
Here are the basic set up steps ...
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Bought a Logitech keyboard to. Use with my iPad 2 but doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Bought a Logitech keyboard for iPad 2... First of all USB cord doesn't fit and had to order adaptor to connect them but still doesn't work...keyboard came with no directions? How do I make this work?

You're using the Camera Connection Kit. This is designed to connect cameras to your iPad in order to import photos you've taken. However, the Camera Connection Kit, although that was not what it was designed for, has been known to sometimes accept certain simple USB keyboards and even USB headphones. Obviously, your Logitech is of a better quality keyboard and does not work with the CCK, because it wasn't designed to accept anything other than a camera.
Most Bluetooth keyboards, if not all, should work with your iPad. There is the official Apple Keyboard which looks and works great, and connects to an iPad or a Mac using Bluetooth. However, it is a bit on the expensive side ($70). I'm sure there are good alternatives if you need.

Just since the last update I can't open attachments. No matter which opener I choose, all I get is gabble. What am I doing wrong?

I can't open text attachments. Even when I use the 'free document viewer' program all I get is a pattern of letters, not clear text. I've tried every program in the choices list, which doesn't include Adobe or Word, both of which are on my computer.
I believe this problem started after the last Mozilla update, but I'm not sure. I receive messages in my Mail.com account on a cycle towards the end of the month, and this cropped up since the end of last month.

You need iTunes version 11 for iOS 7.
