I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased the Airport Express last year. After one of the iphone 4s updates I lost the contact and cannot reestablish. I have even tried to hard wire from my router to the airport express and I cannot connect.
I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased Airport Express last year. I used my iphone 4s to connect and it has been working until recently I lost connection after one of the iphone updates. I cannot make contact with the unit. I have even used an ethernet cable that I hooked to my router and still won't work. I cantinually get this message from Airport Utility. An error has occurred and I can not do anything else.
If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update
You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.

Windows 8.1 slow on 5 year old Dell Laptop
I have a 5 year old DELL XPS laptop (32 bit) with 3 GB of RAM...
I run windows 8.1 , I see that there are certain peculiar problems with 8.1 on my machine....
1) When I shut down my machine, it could take upto 3-4 (or maybe more) to shut down competely.
2) When I switch my laptop on from Sleep, it takes quite a long time (2-3 minutes) to show up sign in screen, and after sign in, it could take upto 2 minutes to show my desktop/start screen.
3) The boot up time is also significantly more than I expected it to be!
Overall on a 5 year old machine, windows 8.1 feels sluggish , even on a laptop with 3 GB memory. Iam not sure if this means some of the older motherboards are probably not as compatible with windows 8.1 or my hard disk has slowed down
In any case, Iam unhappy using windows 8.1SQLdev
Dozens of 9F BSODS. Please upload the DMPS
We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
WE NEED AT LEAST TWO DMP FILES TO SPOT TRENDS AND CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If
you dont know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.
The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy (compress them)
*Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive or"Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
Link for how to upload below.
http://www.wikihow.com/Use-SkyDrive
To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.
Please also run MSinfo32 and upload the output as well.
To run MSinfo32 please go to start>run>MSinfo32
Go to "file" "save" and upload the saved file with the DMPS
System specs are extremely useful so please include whatever you know.
Blue Screen View & Who Crashed are often wrong and should only be used in an emergency...

I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an older airport express. I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network. What is the best arrangement of the devices? which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?
I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router. I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so -
Can I use an AE as a Bridge allowing me to hardwire my iMac and offer a wifi to my MacBook? The Ethernet in my office is hard wired but does come in from a router on the other end of the building that has a wifi that cant reach my office...
Thanks, I thought so but wanted to be sure before running out and buying one... I also called Apple Joint Venture and they helped me set it up without the Airport by using my iMac as the wifi! Thanks again!

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -
I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now. As to where these files are, I don't know. It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??
If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

I am trying to add the Youtube widget, but I get a black box saying blocked plugin. I have even tried to embed it from Youtube as well and it does the same thing. But when I drag the Vimeo widget over, it connects like it should. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

I am trying to stream video from iTunes store for the last 2 days and all I get is the message "iTunes store is unavailable. Try again later." I have tried turning it off, unplugging all cords, restarting it, reseting it, restoring it, and signing in and out again. Netflix works, but iTunes seems to be bugging out. If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8 Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?
10.6.8 Combo Updater
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

Receiving Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content when trying to Air PLay from IPAD 2 to the apple TV. This only applied to renting a movie.
I get the same error on some video content (specifically from the iTunes Library on my Mac). Netflix is fine. Movie previews are fine. I didn't rent/buy anything since this issue came up. I reset the AppleTV (20 minutes of re-entering everything). I am going to try another HDMI cable but the error does not say HDCP as shown in other google searches regarding this issue ( http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/05/hdcp-may-spoil-your-apple-tv-fun/ ).
Was able to play movies rented from the Mac a few weeks ago
Have not tried to re-authorize
AppleTV does not show under devices in iTunes - but I don't ever remember seeing it before
AirPlay'd movie from iPad1 - sound came thru no video (luckily I had a iPad to HDMI cable that was in my work case that worked otherwise movie night with the family would have been tragic)
I'm interested to learn how to fix this without having to waste 30 minutes fooling with three devices, four different wire configs, and a few swear words all while people sit on the couch and laugh at my earlier pronouncements of Apple being the best. -
I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?
I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application. I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice. This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone. It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit. So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple. Let us know if it works for you! -
I ve got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1i forgot my password i ve tried to restore it from itunes but in the middle of the downloading it asks for password how do i restore my phone?
Hi there pablo nina,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve forgot the passcode for your iPhone and you want to know how to restore it. The article linked below will walk you through the process of restoring your iPhone from recovery mode using iTunes.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

trying to set up a linksys router but the cd says it works with OSX 10.6 and later. I am currently running the newest version of mountain lion.... what is the matter with this OSX update needed?
Your install disk must look like this
and not like this.
Those gray disks are machine specific and will only work with model of Mac that they shipped with. -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.
